today i trained a little on a treadmill. i just have to say, i think a little more highly of treadmills than i used to. i used to just think of them as fuel for the mindset that one needs equipment and technology to stay fit (and they still are), but they are a great training tool!
i could never use a treadmill more than once or twice a week. they are boring, but they do force you to keep pace or fall off. that is good for someone like me that gets distracted and slows down, even when not tired. however, they are still boring, and i would rather run 20 miles down a beautiful path than 1 mile on a treadmill.
the whistlestop marathon is in two months. hooray!
